JEST table and status change document OPL8

[swathi_rege]

Hi Experts,

1. I created a prod order and released it and saved. went to AUFK and got the object number to pass in JEST table. System shows no values found.I was expecting a record for the same. do I need to do something to populate JEST table?

2. In OPL8 under implementation tab, there is something called status change documents. do I need to configure OCM to use these change documents? if the answer is no, then what is the difference between these change documents and OCM change documents?

thx in advance

The settings in OPL8 will just determine if system should write the change logs of status to table tables CDHDR and CDPOS (for audit trail). Entries will appear here CO03 >> Header >> Status changes

I think you opened up different windows of different boxes (DEV, QAS etc) and probably created in production order in DEV and checking status in QAS.

Jeevan,

I just created a new order and released it in my dev system and then checked that in JEST table OR00001000120 and it says no values found. I am not sure whats going on..

I dont need to have opl8 status change doucment order header check box to update JEST right?

System status management is active for production order by default as far as I know. I would ask you to do some more testing with different order types and check the status through CO03 and then in JEST and then refer to this note 94699 (this note applies all versions of SAP, ie up to 6.05).

OPL8 setting is not necessary for entries to appear in JEST

dear friend,

i would say:

1. you do not need to populate JEST

2.in OPL8 just tick the box "For Order Header"

good luck!

PPIO,

1. If I dont have to do anything, then what is the reason you think that I cannot see a entry for my prod ord object number in jest table?

2. what is the difference between OCM change documents and the change documents here in opl8?

dear,

-you would probably miss that object number (just looking at wroong place/wrong value or wrong number).

create a new order and check it out again (but before tick the box i mentioned above)

goto AUFK table (use AUFNR as order number), take the objnr from AUFK-OBJNR and use it as a key for JEST table

-do you need to implement OCM ? if not - set up OPL8 just for 'order header'.

reagrds,
